**AS SEEN ON ITV'S THIS MORNING**

Stop trying to sort your life out. Start living. 'Full of wisdom and comfort' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN. 'A practical path toward personal transformation... 'A must-read' CAL NEWPORT. Our lives can feel defined by the struggle with overwhelm, endless decisions and striving to be productive.

Wouldn't it be good to stop doing all that? What if we could find freedom - and get more of the important things done - by embracing our limitations, and by letting things happen instead of forcing them? Meditations for Mortals begins with the reality in which we actually find ourselves, not with fantasies of an ideal existence. Reflecting on ideas from philosophy, religion, psychology and self-help, it offers us a powerful and practical new way to do what counts: a guiding outlook. Oliver Burkeman calls 'imperfectionism'. This book is a profound and liberating crash course in living more fully.

It overturns much familiar advice and opens a gateway to a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled life. 'If there are two people who have changed my life…then one of them is Oliver Burkeman' PANDORA SYKES. 'Oliver Burkeman has a way of giving you the most unexpected productivity advice exactly when you need it' MARK MANSON. READERS LOVE MEDITATIONS FOR MORTALS: 'If you were only to read one book in your life, let it be this one'. 'Simultaneously simple and deeply profound'. 'Reading Oliver Burkeman has actually changed my life'. 'At once mind-bending and worldview-shattering'. 'The rare kind of self-help book that I think everyone would benefit from'.

Description

Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around us.

By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. Divided into five parts, the book offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue that all of us live with.

Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment and the embrace of universal consciousness are the subject of part four.

And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of "unconditional happiness." Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.
